Making the Spurs title contenders again this year:

Trade 1

To SAS - Goran Dragic, Zoran Dragic, Miles Plumlee

To PHX - Tiago Splitter, Cory Joseph, Kyle Anderson, 2015 1st, 2017 1st

Though Dragic is listed as a PG, he can play off the ball effectively as well. Playing with Tony Parker would be similar to playing with Eric Bledsoe in that both can handle the ball, and play off of it. This makes him a good fit in San Antonio. For this deal to work, Dragic and the Spurs would have to have a wink, wink agreement to resign in the offseason.

Where Goran goes, so does Zoran.

The Suns have been looking to move Plumlee, and he is a good young asset for the Spurs to pick up.

Suns receive assets both for now and the future. Splitter gives Phoenix some additional needed size, and Joseph is an excellent backup to Thomas and Bledsoe as he can both score and run an offense. The key to this deal though is the potential of Anderson, and the two first round picks.

Trade 2

To SAS - Bismack Biyombo, 2nd rd pick

To CHA - Marco Belinelli

Spurs could use another player with size, and the Hornets need a responsible shooter. With the addition of Dragic, the Spurs can afford to make Belinelli available.

Playoff Spurs

PG - Parker, Ginobili, Mills
SG - G Dragic, Ginobili, Z Dragic
SF - Leonard, Green
PF - Duncan, Plumlee, Bonner
C - Diaw, Plumlee, Biyombo

You just ruined the Spurs future with these trades. Dragic won't resign in S.A. so giving up Splitter, two young prospects and two picks for a guy who won't resign? Horrible trade

2.) 18 Feb 2015
True, and as such I point out that this trade only works IF Dragic resigns.

Don't forget that Plumlee comes over in this trade as well, who has more upside than Splitter.

Stupid trade. spurs rather keep splitter. And u want them to give up 2 first round picks?. sounds like u want SA to be losers

4.) 19 Feb 2015
Not much more upside, he's only a few years younger and doesn't have the post passing skills Splitter has

5.) 19 Feb 2015
How does plumlee have more upside then splitter, plumlee is an energy guy who can defend in the post, splitter is a back to the basket big who can move to the high post due to his passing, he's just as good on defense as plumlee and he knows the spurs system
